2016 Map of Lakehurst

About this map

The Lakehurst Naval Air Center and Lakehurst Maxfield Field dominate the southern landscape of this Ocean County study, marking the area's deep ties to aviation and defense. Surrounding this military footprint, the borough of Lakehurst sits at the junction of Union Br and Manapaqua Br, which feed into the prominent Horicon Lake. The map reveals a suburban transition through several large planned residential communities such as Leisure Village West, Leisure Knoll, and Cedar Glen West, illustrating the significant 20th-century population growth in the New Jersey Pinelands. To the north, the terrain remains more varied with numerous watercourses like the Toms River and S Br Metedeconk River winding through older settlements such as Van Hiseville and Holmansville. Significant wetlands and tributaries, including Maple Root Br and Obhonan Ridgeway Br, define the hydrology between the developed corridors of W Veterans Hwy and Lakehurst Ave.
